PromoGuy’s Monday Mission 3.33

1. Are you good at responding to emails and/or Blog comments?

I used to be great as responding to email, I’ve slacked off since the blog started a year ago. I’m good about responding to blog comments. It’s all about the blog right now.

2. Does it make you crazy when people won’t reply to your emails even though you know good and well that they are reading them?

Sometimes. Mostly I just want an acknowledgement that they received it more than a real response.

3. I recently watched the FOX special “101 Things Removed from the Human Body” which was quite disgusting in a can’t-help-but-watch kind of way. It got me to thinking about many of the accidents I had as a child. I remember climbing over a fence after T-ball and catching my palm on the top of the chain-link fence. Went through my hand and tore it right open. What’s the most unusual thing you’ve had inside your body?

Nothing unusual to report. I had a toenail practically ripped off a few years ago, but that’s a-whole-nother question.

4. What person from your past would you most like to run into and visit with for an afternoon? Why them? What person would you like to not ever see again as long as you live? How come?

I would most like to see my friend from junior high, Tiffany. We were pretty tight while I lived in that town, I moved away but we managed to keep in touch until my junior year of college - she went into the Army after high school and I lost touch with her when she moved to Germany. I haven’t heard from her since and I have no idea where she is now.

There’s not really anyone I don’t want to see again.

5. What was the last bad meal you (or your special someone) paid too much for? What’s the story there?

Lunch today. No story, really. We wanted to try a new place, had heard this place was good. It turned out not to be good. We won’t be returning.

6. If out-of-the-blue you were forced to find a new career, if there was just suddenly no need for your field of expertise, just what job do you imagine you would seek out? Do you have any skills you can “fall back on?” (If you stay at home or are a student, adjust to fit your situation)

Gee, wasn’t I in this position last year? I toyed with the idea of grad school to get my MBA. Honestly, in my current position, it ain’t gonna happen. Government jobs are as sure as you can get.

7. If you were to open up your own restaurant, what would it be called and what type of food would you serve? Describe the “feel” of the place (the decor, the music, etc).

Ah, here’s where my domain name comes in. I was in culinary school several years ago. A friend said I should open a restaurant and call it “Freakin’ Jen’s” - and we talked about the kind of food I would serve. It would be a homey, relaxed kind of place. The food would be served family style and be eclectic - pasta, steak, seafood - you name it, I have it.

BONUS: How long can you stand the heat?

How do you indicate negative time?
